How many models is reasonable—can you have too many?
Posted: 21 Sep 2022
I'm sure this is somewhat dependent on the font. As I've read different perspectives on this, it seems like anywhere from 50–100 can be a good starting place.
I'm testing out running KO with almost 200 models in a font and I'm wondering if there's a reason I should stick to fewer models.
My thought was just to train Kern On as much as possible to see what happens. And having more models seems to have helped me identify small inconsistencies in my spacing different places. Obviously there are diminishing returns at a certain point, but it doesn't seem to have had any unwanted side effects other than the extra time involved.
Just curious what other people's experiences are with few (~50) vs. many (100+) models has been so far.
